I am thinking of adding a Turbo Unit to my 914. It currently is a 1973 F.I. 1.7. I am getting different opinions and need some input.
Are there any kits for a 914, and if so, where can I purchase one? Should I keep my F.I. or convert to a Weber Carb? Will I have to fabricate any parts - and if so - what? Do you recommend any reliable mechanics in the Los Angeles area? I live in San Bernadino County but commuting is no big deal. For those of you that have a Turbo Unit - what problems can I expect from it? Is it reliable? Thanks for the feed back. Craig |

QUOTE Are there any kits for a 914, and if so, where can I purchase one? No kits. QUOTE Should I keep my F.I. or convert to a Weber Carb? Niether. While many of the Bug hotrodders do carbed turbo's, CIS injection or a modern EFI is really the best way to go. QUOTE Will I have to fabricate any parts - and if so - what? Many. Basically everything (oil feed and return, intake plumbing, exhaust plumbing, etc.) QUOTE For those of you that have a Turbo Unit - what problems can I expect from it? Is it reliable? Can't really say about reliability since mine's not on the road yet, but there are a lot of people running turbo typeI beetles and they seen to do just fine.
